"After many years of painting in watercolors, I began to venture into an abstract focus. I see the world and life around me as an inspiration to paint living emotions."

I am Maria Carmen Schramm, a versatile contemporary abstract expressionist artist. I am a local and an international artist by nature. I was born in Venezuela with a Portuguese heritage. I have lived in Venezuela, Portugal, Spain, and in the United States. I have traveled extensively around the world. Art has always been in my life: Beginning with my mother who is a dressmaker with all kind of fabrics, colors, shapes and designs and her love for the plants, flowers, and cooking plus my contact with the different places, people, and nature. I love it all! I see and hear art everywhere. I am inspired by nature, pictures, places, etc. My mixed media paintings are diverse pieces of art that involve imagination, texture, movement, and sometimes three dimensional objects, other times my artwork expresses simplicity and it is minimalist.
I celebrate art continuously! I have some of my art in permanent exhibit at my house, but also some of my artwork have been exhibited at Atlanta International Airport in March-June, 2016 and Nov 17,2017 to May 2018, 2019 and, at the Zucherman Museum of Art at Kennesaw State University and other galleries like the Studios of Key West, Norcross gallery, and mona.
"When you have experienced the passion for art, you will forever want to create art"

"Cycles II" 20x20x1.5 Inspired in my original art piece 48X48x1.5 that I painted in 2015. I love circles, lines and spheres. They remind me our lives and the eternity. The real life is infinite, as a circle is composed of cycles. The beauty of circles is that even when it looks simple, it consists of many complex cycles with a lot around. Enjoy the tide of this miracle, LIFE.
"Sunset, Key West" 16x20x1 Sunsets always make feel like I'm in a perfect movie waiting for the expected perfect ending. The sunset is a continuous cycle of life. It is spectacular, serene, exciting, intense, romantic, lively, calming, and more. The sun is a circle of life.
